So I've had the G2 for a couple of weeks now and I put CM11 on it as soon as I bought it. Recently, it has randomly started to lag and stutter. It's more when initially start using the phone, but it shows up here and there. When I press the power button to wake the phone, there is a short delay. Typing is also very annoying sometime as it can't keep up. When I press an app icon, it's like its waiting for another press but it eventually opens. Kind of like the youtube app but not as long of a delay. It's pretty irritating. I even switched to ART to see if it would go away but it didn't.
Is there a common cause for this issue? Any suggestions? I'm still kind of a noob with this stuff so...yeah. Any help would be appreciated.
I guess it was just the Trebuchet launcer in CM. After I switched to google now launcer most of the lag has gone away.
I have a Note Edge on Sprint. Model SM-N915P on Android 5.0.1. I have performed a factory reset to attempt to troubleshoot the issues. I have also been up and down the settings.
Since the update I have been running into a boat load of problems that aren't identified through all of my searches.
1) When ever I reboot (once a day) the YouTube app always starts and is running in the background.
2) I cannot get any weather information to show on my edge panel (it did show before the update).
3) I dont know if the last 10 years of working in IT has made me an idiot, but I can not for the life of me get my phone to tell me I have a voice mail waiting. The only identifier to a new voice mail is through the visual voice mail app that I do not wish to use. Just as an FYI this is also happening on my wife's Lg G3. The old school voice mail symbol that used to appear in the upper part of the screen is a no show.
4) While using The Amazon Music Player and connected to blue tooth in my car music will just stop playing.
5)My phone does not lock consistently. I do have screen time outs and auto lock set, however, the screen does not always require a password. It is random as to which apps will be open when the phone locks or does not lock.
6) Of course battery life sucks donkey balls.
This is all I can think of for now.
I would love for CM to be available for my device, but in the mean time I will take any advice to resolve these issues.
Just factory reset and clear the cache for tow week I use Russian 5.0.1 and everything's good
I just got a Galaxy S6 yesterday. On the way home from work was using Waze to find the best route. At some point I didn't need it any more so I turned it off buy pressing the app button on the front of the phone and closing it. But I was still getting turn by turn directions.
Once I got home I used Google Hangouts to call a friend. Once I was done I shutdown the app in the same way, but the call never dropped. I had to reboot my phone to disconnect from hangouts.
Finally I noticed that my batteries went from 100% at work to 15% by the time I got home (3 hours later)
Any ideas how to actually close apps? Perhaps the reason people complain about bad batteries on this phone is because the apps never actually close.
All,
First time poster, frequent visitor of XDA Forums. I've come across an odd issue that I don't know how to solve and I'm hoping some of you smarter than me folks can get me squared away.
I have a Galaxy S8+ from AT&T running Android 7.0 and Samsung Experience 8.1.
Problem:
I've recently noticed a delay or completely non-updating interface on my phone. It updates on occasion, but I can't determine what triggers an update. For example, I will pick up my phone from the desk and when I press the power button it shows the accurate time. When I unlock the device, the sense flip clock I use on the main home screen shows an earlier time (could be 30 minutes... could be a few hours). I don't believe it's just the Sense app because I noticed this issue where I checked a facebook messenger app that came and and when I closed the app, it still showed I had 1 notification. I went back in thinking I had another new message, but I didn't. So it was still hanging on to the notification. It happened a couple times with a text message as well. Most importantly, my calendar doesn't alert me prior to an appointment either, even though it's showing in my calendar and an alert is active. If I save an event, and exit, I can normally see the event appear on the on widget immediately as well... but that hasn't been happening. I have to press the widget to open it and confirm it is there (which it always is). Eventually it refreshes and shows up. But that delay is likely the reason why I'm not getting my alerts.
All of this did seem to happen after a recent update Samsung/AT&T pushed out but I don't know for sure. I tried clearing the cache from the boot menu but it doesn't seem there is wide success with that.
And perhaps I'm just not a good enough user, but everything isn't all backed up in the cloud so doing the factory reset to me is always a fairly large task as I have many things to manually transfer out and then back in. Not sure if there are great tools that help with this on a stock phone.
Samsung smart switch works wonders, the only thing that doesn't restore is passwords, you have to have and external SD card for it to work, or plug it in to a computer

Go to settings and check if your time is setup to adjust automatically.

That is not the issue. As mentioned, it's not just the clock it's multiple interfaces.

High level overview of issues...
I have the Ring Doorbell app. I get notifications after "live". Could be 5 minutes, could be 1 hour... or possibly not at all. I have the app setup on my wife's iPhone and she gets them immediately. If I restart the phone, I will get notified right away (it's like it runs the app again and then I get the notification). Keep in mind, this is AFTER i disabled the battery optimization feature for the Ring app.
I also notice it occasionally with texting. I won't have any text notification in the notification panel, nor will my messaging icon have a little red circle indicating a message is there. But if I open the app, a specification conversation will have a red circle indicating a new text is unread.
All of this is leading me to believe the Samsung UI itself is not updating and therefore notifications that actually have arrived (from whatever app), are not displaying because of the UI and not because of their own delay.
Because of this concern I have turned off battery optimization for "System UI", "Themes", and "TouchWiz Home". I have not seen any change however.
[Solved]
I was able to determine by various other threads around the web (thought for sure I'd find it here, but I didn't) that the culprit might be the Google app. Supposedly it was fixed in some prior release, but it's not on my Galaxy S8+ w/ AT&T.
Once I disabled the Google app all the odd issues with notifications and clock interfaces and app icons not updating went away. The downside to disabling it is that I lose the Google Assistant functionality which stinks but otherwise there is no impact to using the phone. I re-enabled it at a later date and it worked fine for a few days and then started acting up again. Once I disabled it, the problems all disappeared. Clearly Google app is to blame.
Hey guys
I'm having strange problems with Android Auto on Honor 8x.
Sometimes, it works great. The navigation bar shows up, and when I click the audio button, I can see Pocket Casts and Spotify as intended.
However, about 2/3rds of the time, Android Auto doesn't work properly. Either, the bar at the bottom is blank, or my audio apps are not recognized, and pressing the audio button gives the prompt 'Pull over and install android auto apps when it is safe to do so'.
I'm trying to figure out why it works sometimes and other times not, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I've tried making sure spotify is open before connecting the phone, I've tried making sure it's fully closed, wiping caches of android auto and google apps doesn't seem to make a difference after the initial set up either.
Anyone else?
I'm having exactly the same issue except for me Google play music always appears; just Spotify is sometimes there/sometimes isn't
I initially thought it was a Spotify issue and downloaded Deezer which had exactly the same issue after a few days
I've found sometimes that rebooting the phone works but I've also resorted to reinstalling Spotify at times
I'm just sitting waiting patiently in a hope that it's some "feature" which gets fixed when pie is rolled out, but who knows!
Let us know if you find a fix! ??
I've given up
Mine was just weird full stop! Screen goes weird and kept locking up, half the time 'hey google' wouldn't work amongst other things. I ended up deleting it.
Glad to see it's not only me. It's great when it works, but it's always when I'm about to head out on a long drive that it ****s the bed. The 15 minute journey to town of course, everything's mint..... Having other problems with the phone as well with it's heavy-handed regulation of pretty much everything. No DNS-based or VPN-based adblock can seem to stay alive either. Tried them all! I really hope a decent custom ROM comes out one day, but if not I will probably cut my losses and head back to Moto. Shame really, because it's great value for money and an AOSP version of same hardware would be mint.
